Developing countries play a major role in mineral sourcing and command a significant share in estimated reserves. Meeting the demand for energy-related critical raw materials could, therefore, be an important development pathway. However, increased mining activity needs to be done sustainably, and nations are eager to ensure they benefit from their natural endowments through local value addition.
The United Nations Secretary-General's Panel for Critical Energy Transition Minerals has launched its report prior to UNGA79.This session will build on the UNSG Panel's report, principles, recommendations and showcase some responsible mining examples.The session will also point out the challenges of how we can facilitate more projects around the world, while ensuring their equitable and responsible nature.
